China is experiencing a huge Covid-19 surge after years of hardline containment restrictions were dismantled last month.
Patients with Covid-19 are pictured in beds at Tangshan Gongren Hospital in China’s northeastern city of Tangshan on December 30, 2022.
That responsibility has been transferred to the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention , which will only publish figures once a month after China downgrades its management protocols for the disease on January 8. CDC official Yin Wenwu said authorities are now compiling data from hospitals and local government surveys as well as emergency call volumes and fever medicine sales, which will “make up for deficiencies in our reporting”.
The eastern coastal city of Qingdao also estimated around 500,000 new daily cases and the southern manufacturing center of Dongguan forecast up to 300,000. Leaked notes from a meeting of health officials last month revealed they believed 250 million people had been infected across China in the first 20 days of December.
